Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum Review

Whether you're crazy about old trains or just want to see the sights from a different perspective, the railroad museum has an extensive collection of locomotives and rail coaches and offers scenic tours on narrow-gauge railcars. The 3-mi jaunts run on the hour and take you along Casco Bay, at the foot of the Eastern Promenade. The operating season caps off with a Halloween ride (wear your costumes). During the Christmas season the trains run (museum is closed) for Polar Express rides, based on the popular children's book.
